Is there anything better than a homemade treat that tastes like a vacation? This Ninja Creami recipe takes the classic Almond Joy combo of coconut, chocolate, and almond and turns it into the creamiest, most decadent ice cream you’ve ever had. It’s shockingly easy and way better than a pint from the store.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut, divided
  • ½ cup chopped almonds, divided
  • ½ cup chocolate chips, divided
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Make the base: In a blender, combine coconut milk, heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and ¼ cup of the shredded coconut. Blend until totally smooth.
  2. Add mix-ins: Pour the blended mixture into your Ninja Creami pint. Stir in the remaining ¼ cup of shredded coconut and ¼ cup of the chocolate chips.
  3. Freeze it: Place the pint in the freezer for about 1 to 2 hours, or until it’s firm but not rock-solid.
  4. Spin: Place the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami and use the “Ice Cream” function. If it looks crumbly after the first spin, run the “Re-spin” function.
  5. Finish it up: Once the ice cream is perfectly creamy, gently fold in the remaining ¼ cup of chopped almonds and ¼ cup of chocolate chips. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Serving Suggestions: This ice cream is amazing on its own, but you could also top it with a little extra shredded coconut, toasted almonds, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Tips & Tricks: For a richer almond flavor, lightly toast the chopped almonds in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding them to the ice cream. To make this recipe vegan, be sure to use a non-dairy milk and heavy cream alternative, and check that your chocolate chips are vegan-friendly.

Storage: Store any leftovers in the sealed Ninja Creami pint in the freezer. When you’re ready for another scoop, simply re-spin the pint in your Ninja Creami to bring back that creamy texture.
